Finally making some progress with posting. Spent a lot of time head scratching. Shout out to gtpvette! for the clutch master cylinder box photos and build break down!!! It was what I needed! I have a solid 1 inch of clearance from the banjo bolt to the valve cover.
I have the engine in the third hole from front on the cx mounts. I do not have to cut my hood support. It clears I am using the stock belt set up that came on the donor GTO. I did however have to use a different alternator. Could not get a pulley to match the stock alternator with the clutch set up. Tried summit... went to a local shop told nobody makes one. They did get me set up with one that works and plugs in to ls harness. I have a Mishimoto rad and thin fan set up. In the stockish postion. I drilled the holes a little bigger to get room to run coolant pipe in front of the engine pushed rad about forward 1/4.
I welded some 1/8 flat steel to the trans tunnel after removing the old support. Just seemed to thin. The cx mounts only use two bolts on each side and don't go around the tunnel like Vorshlag.
Big goal have car running by NOV 10..
Working on wiring up the car using psi conversion stand alone harness and reprogramed E40. Hoping someone can point me in the direction of the fuel pump controller location? So I may bypass it.
